Well, I got a job doing some window splashes, t-shirts, and painting some fun stuff on the walls in the "music room."
This is the logo they had, so I upsold a logo redesign as well.
Here is what I came up with so far. Please let me know what you think. I think it is an improvement to say the least:

Hiya Dan, I like the flavor of your redesign. It in keeping with the old design while giving it a fresh look. However, the type for their logo is too condensed and illegible. So, it's back to the drawing board.
Havin' fun,
Checkers
Posted by Russ McMullin (Member # 5617) on :
I agree with Checkers. The type is very hard to read. Also, the colors are soft and muted, which give it less impact. The orange outline around the apple seems unnecessary, as well as the blue outline around the text. The outlines around the phone number give less impact rather than more.
If I were to approach this, I would try to make a bold design, without gradients, that would work in black and white first, then add color.

I can see what you are trying to do, but as has been suggested, find a better suited font. When using outlines, make sure they don't get spikey (like the tops of the T in future) And try to avoid too many gradients and outlines, you want this to pop. I think the worm/apple theme has been done quite a bit. I think I might try using a different version of it. Here is a quickie suggestion, that green squiggle is supposed to be a worm! Love....Jill Posted by Sam Staffan (Member # 4552) on :

So far I think Sam's worm is the most Scholarly. The first worm looks all happy like...

Here is a simpler rework of the original idea.

young kids = bright yellows..

Much easier to read but I would definitely straighten out the line Development Center. If you want to reduce the empty space to the sides of Early, it would be better to curve the top line more if anything. In your redesign the phone number looks now disconnected from the rest. It is the apple shape that holds everything together, I think. I also second the call for brighter colours.

Not a fan of the opposing distortions or the squished font on the name. Be kind to your letters.

Stevo, What is that font? I'd like to have that one in my arsenal
Posted by Stevo Chartrand (Member # 2094) on :
It's Arthur Vanson's Wade Grotesque.

Posted by Dan Beach (Member # 9850) on :
I am ordering that font now. That is terrific.
Thanks.
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
Just please don't squish or distort the font, Arthur will beat you about the head and shoulders with a fishing pole. Stevo's excellent suggestion looks very punchy, bright, and fun.
